US Regional Qualifier - Phoenix, AZ

​

The Pokemon Video Game Championships returns to the desert heat in Phoeinx, AZ. This is the second straight year that Phoeinx has had a qualifier stop; will it again show the intense competition that was seen last year? Only time will tell, and on May 22nd 2010 we will know who stands out from the rest as Phoenix AZ champion.

Players may only sign up for the event during their age division's registration times. Competitor slots will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Preregistration is not available for these events. Finishing in the top sixteen in Phoenix will grant you an invitation to play in the National Championship in Indianapolis, IN, on June 26th-28th, 2010!

[Muse]

Yeah i'm going to this one, :> can't go to SFO cause the event is on my moms birthday. Hope I get to meet some of you.

 

[viperGTS]

Cant wait for it :) if now i could crack the RNG...
Hope to get 1st, might not be able to go to nationals if i get 2nd-4th

 

[Sojiro Aionis]

I will also be attending this!

 

[gbelste]

I'll be going! Mostly for practice and shiny eevee. I don't think I'll even place. :/

 

[Da Letter El]

If I get my driver's license in time, I will be at phoenix.

 

[Muse]

For us Californians; lets setup a carpool! ;o That'd be pretty interesting if it actually worked. In other words, i doubt my parents will drive me 6 hours to arizona so I want to hitch a ride with one of you ;D

 

[makiri]

Depends where you live and if you're willing to fork over cash for gas.

I will check back with all of you later :-D

Compete or spectate? I thought you were going to another to participate in...

If you can find a way to Riverside it should be easy to carpool.

 

[ultimatedra]

Seattle, San Fransisco - and hopefully Phoenix also!
And yes, it would be to compete.

Lol - Spectate.

Competing in 3 VGC's? Dang!!!!
What if you get 1st at the other stops?

 

[ultimatedra]

I live in Utah - the center of all three areas. If there was a state to live in to be able to go to all of them, Utah or Nevada would be it.

Then i will be "Sling-shooting" for the others in my team. Playing until i face another team mate and then drop so they can get further. It is like receiving a free win in a tournament where every win counts more then the last.

Actually, if you get first somewhere else, you can't play in any others.

Then i will get 2nd, be happy with my $300 dollars and try for another $300 at each one. Hopefully it will be my friends who will be getting first.

All this competition is making me nervous D: i just have to get 1st!

 

[kamz]

i might be able to make it

 

[Kane Dunestorm]

Is spectating okay? Or do you have to actually have a copy of HG/SS and a DS, and come and do something? Cause I live in Tempe, and might come just to hang out. I actually might have a copy of Heart Gold or Soul Silver by then and just borrow my Mom's DS for the event, if only to get in/get the Shiny Eevee.

 

[kamz]

no you dont unless you want the eevee then you must

 

[Supe]

So I pulled a few strings with some friends in the hotel business and just booked my room for Phoenix. Count me in! =)

 

[Osthato]

Definitely going

 

[Firestorm]

You don't need to enter to get the Eevee. Just come to the event and don't go into the lineup for registration. Walk around, watch the matches on the TVs. Shiny Eevee is done wirelessly. I got mine during Juniors which I obviously was not allowed to enter.

 

[kamz]

since zerowing won seattle are you still coming
